Just started taking an AA

[hkgurl1480]

A few months back i was taking a very low dose of E and the feeling of liberation was amazing.  I was given a taste of what it should be like to be me.  Unfortunately i had to stop for a number of reasons.

I could feel the T taking back its control of my mind.  For weeks i could not figure out why i wasn't happy when i should have been.  It was like a light fog had settled on my mind.

So anyway, on Saturday i started taking Finasteride.  A small step i know but the psychological change has been amazing.  The fog has lifted and i feel fabulous.  It's like sunshine after the rain.

I realise any changes from the fin will be slow, but can anyone tell me of their experience as far as changes in hair growth, or lack thereof?  Did you get any back that you had lost previously? Did speed of growth and thickness of body hair decrease?

Since poetry seems to the theme recently, here is one of mine that sums up how i feel about T.

Poison running through my veins,
burning, twisting, torturing;
mind, heart and soul trapped.
Trapped, there is no escape.

Look in the mirror
see what it has done,
a monster looks back.
Its not me, its not me

Don't let it be real.
It holds me, wraps me in chains,
shocking, hiding, fading me out.
Don't let it end this way.

It's just not right, it's just not me,
it shouldn't be this way.
Why is it doing this to me,
disfiguring, ugly, harsh.

Shut my eyes I cannot look.
Don't let it reign, fight this thing,
must overcome this evil oppressor,
it can be done there is a way.

Look for the light, it can be found,
wash the toxic mess away.
I can be free, I can be me.
There is relief, break these chains.

Sooth my veins, release my mind.
The cool softness flows like silk.
The beloved, the friends, the saviours alike
lift you up, soar like a bird, be free.

Hugs to all
Shelly

Fin dosen't block T jus so you know, it only blocks DHT so you shouldn't expect any significant changes.

It will mostly effect head hair and it will thicken up areas that are slightly thinned and stop any further hair loss.

There are rare side effects where the blocking goes further and you get breast development or body hair loss impotence and libido loss but this is >1% of cases.

as pebbles said spiro is much more effective t blocker on that body hair decreased significantly even shaving decreased as its taking longer to come back in laser has nixed that in most facial places now

Thanks girls.  I appreciate your feedback.
I am aware that fin only blocks DHT and not T.
At present that is all i can take.  In time i plan to add spiro or cypro to block the T.

I know that fin should only impact hair growth.  I was hoping to get some first hand stories of the effects.

Thanks again

  Fin is a gr8 start at least. Being the DHT is 3 times more potent than T. DHT is a major contributor to the male characteristics. DHT is essentially what makes us ugly, and really doesn't aid much in the strife of a mtF's journey. So it sounds like you have gotten the better of the two. If all goes well and your clear for the spiro, you'll be on your way to preventing any more of the evil T from converting to DHT...

Best of wishes...
Once you get on the spiro steer clear of high potassium foods.
